211 The Face in the Soup

Su Yuan asked, “Are you hungry? Oh, no, I should be asking you if you’ve had dinner yet.”

“I haven’t eaten. I’m a little too hungry. I don’t feel much.” Mo Ting changed into his shoes.

Su Yuan frowned. “You can’t keep doing this. You’ll get a stomach problem.” She then walked toward the kitchen. “I want to have some supper. Do you want some noodles? I’ll bring you a bowl too.”

Mo Ting’s eyes flickered.

In her previous life, Pei Xifan had been very picky with his food. In order to satisfy his taste, Su Yuan had specially learned cooking from a chef in a five-star hotel for a year. She basically knew how to cook all the dishes in the restaurants outside.

At that time, the chef had even praised her for her talent in cooking. Unfortunately, no matter how talented he was, it was useless. Pei Xifan had never been to her apartment much, nor had he eaten much of her cooking.

Su Yuan went to the kitchen, took out a pot from the cabinet, and started boiling water to cook noodles.

“You can cook?” Mo Ting also appeared in the kitchen.

Su Yuan turned around and glanced at him. The man was leaning against the door frame, holding a cup of water in one hand and the other in his pocket. He was looking at her. He had taken off his suit jacket and was wearing a light blue silk shirt inside. The lines of his muscles could be clearly seen on his chest.

What a good figure! Su Yuan quickly retracted her gaze, her face a little hot. She didn’t dare to turn back to look at him, but focused on washing the tomatoes in her hands. “Haven’t you heard of the old saying? The children of poor families took care of themselves early.”

He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong forearms. As he occasionally drank water, the muscles on his forearms moved up and down. The hem of his shirt was tucked into his trousers. Two long legs crossed together.

What a good figure! Su Yuan quickly retracted her gaze, her face a little hot. She didn’t dare to turn back to look at him, but focused on washing the tomatoes in her hands. “Haven’t you heard of the old saying? The children of poor families took care of themselves early. I’ve been learning how to cook since I was young.”

Mo Ting laughed, “What was your childhood like?”

He suddenly recalled the old photo album that Su Qiumeng had given him. The Su Yuan in the photo was completely different from the one he was looking at now. Apart from the full moon photo, Little Yuan had short hair before she was 16 years old. She was also dressed in neutral clothes, and at first glance, she looked like a boy. However, her facial features were still so exquisite. His little girl had been very beautiful since she was young.

Su Yuan didn’t expect Mo Ting to suddenly ask about her childhood, so she immediately started talking. Her childhood was the warmest and happiest time in her short previous life.

“Have you caught a snake before? After the hibernation awakening, there would be many snakes in the grass in the countryside. At first, I didn’t dare to catch snakes, but Brother Yang taught me. They wanted to roast the snakes they caught and eat them. I thought it was too cruel, so I let go of all the snakes that everyone had been catching for a long time. They didn’t even bother with me for a week.”

There are also grasshoppers. You can roast them and eat them. The meat of the thigh is the most delicious.

“There was a mound in the mountain behind my house. Brother Xiao Yang and I dug it out and used it as our secret base. Later, more and more people came to the mountain to travel, and the mound was filled up. My secret base was gone. Because of this, I cried for a long time.”

Su Yuan’s back was facing Mo Ting as she spoke excitedly. Her voice had also increased in volume, so she didn’t hear Mo Ting’s footsteps approaching.

“Ah!” Su Yuan was startled by a warm chest that suddenly pressed against her back.

Mo Ting gently wrapped his arm around her waist and buried his head in her shoulder as he said in an aggrieved tone, “What do we do? Little Yuan, I’m really envious of that brother Little Yang. He can grow up with you.”

The kitchen was silent for a long time. Su Yuan’s hands were covered in water. Just as she was about to put the tomato into the pot, Mo Ting hugged her. The man’s embrace was very warm, and his scent was very familiar. It was so familiar that Su Yuan didn’t resist at first. When she came back to her senses, this subconscious silence made her feel inexplicably irritated.

“Mo Ting,” Su Yuan replied coldly, “you’re a Virgin, but that doesn’t mean you can hug me as you please!”

Hearing this, Mo Ting’s body froze as he let go of Su Yuan.

Su Yuan didn’t say anything and didn’t turn around. She continued with what she hadn’t finished before, placing the cut tomatoes into the boiling water.

After a short while, the kitchen was filled with the aroma of tomatoes.

She could feel that the man behind her had not left, and his passionate gaze was on her back. She picked up a spoon and stirred the red soup in the pot. She wasn’t sure if she was possessed, but she could actually see Mo Ting’s innocent and pitiful face in the red soup. Damn it! Why did her heart soften again?

Su Yuan stirred the tomatoes in the boiling water with a spoon to ensure that each piece of tomato was evenly heated. She was going to make tomato Seafood Udon noodles. The soup base was the soul of the noodles. It had to be boiled with the best fresh tomato paste and then seasoned with various seafood. The process of boiling the soup was very long and boring.

She could feel that the man behind her had not left, and his passionate gaze was on her back. She picked up a spoon and stirred the red soup in the pot. She wasn’t sure if she was possessed, but she could actually see Mo Ting’s innocent and pitiful face in the red soup. Damn it! Why did her heart soften again? She bit her tongue, and the same feeling finally cleared her mind of distracting thoughts.
